About Blood of the Banshee, Part I (Unabridged)

Part One of five: this dark fantasy novella begins the complete first book of Blood of the Banshee. When a banshee-blooded outlaw is snatched in a crowded inn, she becomes leverage in a legal battle amongst the Valariels of Sanctaris. Bindings hold her between life and death, and rival orders contest her fate. The Justarin demands custody while others fight to spare her. Zaras , a battle-worn elf turned bounty hunter who nearly captured her, wakes in rioting Nocturnis, stabbed and choking on sewage. Auralon , exhausted from purging plagues, returns to Sanctaris to find the girl cocooned in spell-thread as his mentor faces a trial mired in politics. Across the world of Elisar, dragons vanish, necromancy resurges, and plagues are spreading like ink in rainwater. Blood of the Banshee: Part One blends grim magic, political intrigue and gritty, character-driven drama. For listeners who enjoy their fantasy unpredictable, their heroes flawed, and their antagonists certain they’re right. Content warning: The path through Lunaaris and Sanctaris is paved with violence, corruption, and death. This novella is intended for adult listeners.
